Good afternoon! Thank you so much to everyone who played in our Summer in January Challenge. It was so awesome to see such beautiful creations of cards, 3D cards and scrapbook pages. Each one is fabulous and it made it really hard for us girls to pick. We have the best followers around with creative expression.

Good Morning! It is me, Tamie and I will be your hostess this week. We had amazing creations last week so thanks to all who played. Scroll down to see who the TOP 3 are.

The last few days have been seriously cold here in Central Alberta and the wind chill is just crazy (feels like -45). Hopefully tomorrow will warm up a bit and the windchill will settle down. By Sunday it is supposed be -5 not -30-35. So in keeping with better thoughts about the weather, I decided to bring summer into January. Now to be honest I think it through us all a little bit being as most of us were thinking snowmen, snowflakes anything wintery and then I up and switched it on us. It was super fun and I hope you have fun making something that is Summer inspired. Please come and join us we love seeing all of your creations. Here is our challenge!

Hi everyone! Well this last week old man winter has hit Alberta with a brutal force. Our temperatures have been brutal and only a little bit of snow. Today we are at -33 with a wind chill of -45-50. The best part is the sky is blue and the sun is out.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Melissa's Recipe challenge last week. It was so awesome to see everyone's takes on the challenge and all of the inspiration you shared with us. Enough of my talking and let's get onto our TOP 3 picks.

This week’s challenge is a fun sketch created by our own Leanne (the first is a scrapbook sketch or you can choose the card sketch below it - or both!!):

Here’s the low-down on the Blog Hop:
